    Conor Gallagher

    in the end, as long as you are tighter in defence, that is the style of play which wins trophies (Bilbao not withstanding LOL)

    Conor Gallagher

    I think he has also suffered from the way we're playing this season, as well as the different leadership.

    Brilliant post, thank you!

    Conor Gallagher

    I think the main reason Bergvall is getting a full pass from fans (including, admittedly, me) is because he is showing enormous personality and desire every time he steps onto the pitch, something we've really lacked. You and others make some good points about his performance level versus his...

    He will give an instant dressing room boost for sure. I like the character he displays a lot.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Equally @billyiddo , this is a really interesting piece which supports your thoughts with regards to the possibilities, and was the main thing I believe most of us were looking for from Frank/wondering if he would or could. I suppose we're still at the 'uncertain' point. I just wish there were...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    What the technical definition of a through ball is in the context of the stat? Unimportant to me for sure in the bigger picture. How we actually progress the ball/attempt to up the pitch to our attackers? Of vital importance!!! Understanding the point you were looking to make with regards to the...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    I haven't 'jumped in' at all, I've asked and then asked fior clarification mate, that's all. I am desperately attempting rational discussion on all of this. However, seeing as we're here, I'm still misundertanding. You said that the statistical definition of a 'through ball' is a ball played...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Honestly, the definition of the stat is not too important to me (albeit I appreciate that it important to know how it is being defined in such context). My biggest issue is how we are looking to get that ball behind the defence, and it is clear that Frank generally favours doing so via wide...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    You're right and honestly, I owe the man's memory a large apology. (that final goal was the one which really sparked the theories.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    It appears we are simply not interested in signing midfielders who can offer a progressive pass option from deeper positions. Maddison would often drop in and pick the ball up off the CBs so as he could carry and then thread a pass into the forwards/attacking players. Right now, the only person...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    This has absolutely been the main question I've had since he was appointed; would he/will he develop a style of play that less counter-heavy, more possession/front-foot, and one which uses the middle more? Currently it appears not. One thing people are missing when we have an exciting 20-25 mins...

    Ask him? We should do everything possible to get him. Everything.

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    In fairness, he has had options. When Richarlison finally got crocked on Saturday, we had Muani and Tel who could both play as 9s (I won’t count the return of Solanke). Despite losing Kudus and deciding to get rid of Johnson, he still has Odobert and Muani who can play that side. Despite not...

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    Sociopaths, pyschopaths - the wholly unempathetic - have interests driven only by one thing; their own needs and narcissistic tendencies. They have no interest in others unless it benefits them in some way. As they pick off those around them, their numbers grow stronger. Until one day, they have...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    And I get that. But optimistic platitudes are easy to generate. These were very specific comments. He appears to have either not done his own due diligence or been caught out! Again, in mitigation, the guy who hired him was ousted two months later and that cannot be easy.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    No mate, it’s not where we are, simply part of it. Essentially it feels to me that the general nature of these discussions (across the forum not ours per se) come down to one thing. Do you believe he deserves time simply because of the concept of giving someone time regardless of the current...

    I am glad someone has visually articulated what I think is obvious to the eyes.
